HOW IT WORKS
Your Amcor AM90 Air Purifier draws in air through the front panel through an
advanced PET fi lter. As the air in the room passes over the fi lter, pollutant particles
are trapped. The ioniser when activated emits negative ions to rebalance the air with
nature’s “vitamins”. The cleaner enriched air is dispersed back into the room from
the top of the unit.
The AM90 helps create a comfortable more healthy environment in the home
or office by removing irritants such as exhaust fumes, smoke, pollen and animal
dander.
Your AM90 includes a HEPA Type Filter and a PET washable HEPA compatible filter.
The HEPA Type Filter has an activated carbon layer to neutralise odours. The AM90
is delivered with the HEPA Type Filter inside the unit. Note that both filters are
sealed in a plastic bag which must be removed before using the filter.
Beneficial to Health
Did you know at rest, a person breathes about 14 to 16 times per minute.
After exercise it could increase to over 60 times per minute.
Each day you take about 23,000 breaths and nearly 10,000 litres of air enters your lungs.
The total surface area of the alveoli (tiny air sacs in the lungs) is the size of a tennis court.
It is probably safe to say that you will benefit by breathing 10,000 litres of cleaner air
each day.

Your Amcor AM90 Air Purifier will begin to protect your body from the harmful
effects of excessive pollution as soon as it is turned on.
Airbourne pollutants will be attracted to the unit by the powerful yet quiet 3 speed
fan and the ioniser emits trillions of negative ions to charge pollutant particles
and attract them out of the air. For these reasons, the air purifier should not be
positioned close to a surface that cannot be easily cleaned.
ATTENTION:
Before deciding on a location for your Amcor AM90 Air Purifier carefully read all
the operating instructions as well as the following information. The principle on
which the unit works is ionisation. The process of ionisation accelerates the fallout
of pollutants from the air. These pollutants may adhere to surrounding surfaces,
causing a dark smudge. Therefore, placement of the unit away from non-washable
surfaces is a must!
The AM90 will probably be placed on the floor, but it may be placed on a sufficiently
strong stand, with its air outlet facing the user. In order to allow for proper air flow
and to reduce particle buildup, always keep your unit at least 60 cm from all walls.
The air outlet should always face away from the wall.
Caution: Do not place this unit close to sensitive electronic equipment. Examples
are: • video tapes • audio tapes • floppy disks • computers • wrist watches • touch
lamps •radios • stereos • telephones • VCRs, etc.
Do not operate this unit on metal shelving.
The AM90 will begin to clean the air from the harmful effects of excessive pollution
as soon as it is turned on. For the most efficient use, outside doors and windows
should be kept closed when the unit is operating.
POSITION THE AM90

• The AM90 Air Purifier will improve your indoor air quality. Its
air ionisation process removes large pollutant particles as
well as those smaller than 0.1 micron.
• The AM90 enriches the air with negative ions, replenishing
the air’s natural “vitamins”. Nature’s ion count varies from
1000-5000 per cubic centimeters in clean outdoor air. That
count drops sharply indoors to a few hundred or less. As
indoor air pollutants integrate with the ions, their combined
molecules are pulled from the air by electrostatic attraction to
the ground, leaving fewer negative ions.
• The AM90 may frequently help asthma and allergy sufferers,
by helping rid the air of solid pollutants, including smoke,
pollen, dust, fibers, down and soot, which are substances
that may stimulate these ailments.
• The AM90 may help relieve various weather-related maladies
such as headaches, nausea and physical aches.
• The AM90 may help lower tension, producing sounder sleep.
• The AM90 controls air movement in the immediate
environment, alleviating stale or stuffy air, among the most
common complaints in offices and workstations.
• The AM90 may also help alleviate psychological stress caused
by an individual’s inability to control his/her environment.
* An ion is a molecule that has gained or lost an electron; a
negative air ion is a molecule –generally oxygen– with an
extra electron. Negative ions have a positive effect on the
environment. They neutralize odours and contribute to the
clean air and fresh smell we find in non-industrialised rural
areas or the refreshing air we inhale after a thunderstorm.

Connecting to mains power and using the Power Button (1):
a. When the unit is plugged into the mains power or a control button is pushed, the
unit will make a beep sound.
b. If the unit is in the off mode (the LCD screen is blank) and the Power Button (1)
is pushed, the unit will go into the standby mode where only the time digits will
be displayed. The blue LCD backlight will turn on when an active control button is
pushed.
c. If the unit is operating or in the standby mode and the Power Button (1) is
pushed, the unit will go into the off mode.
Setting the Time:
a. After the first connection to mains power and pushing the Power Button (1), the
time display will be all zeros.

Removing and installing the filter:
a. NOTE that the unit comes with the filter sealed in a plastic bag. This bag must be
removed from the filter (and then properly disposed of ) before operating the unit.
b. To remove the filter, lay the unit on its rear as shown in the above drawing. The
filter is removed from the base of the unit.
c. The filter has 2 handles, where one of the handles is also a latch. Push on the
latch and pull out the filter using both handles.
d. To install the filter, slide the fi lter into the base of the unit, as shown in the above
drawing, until the latch catches in the base fitting.
The Washable Pleated Filter:
a. The Washable Pleated Filter is recognised by the pleated fi lter material which is
exposed on both sides of the plastic filter frame.
b. The Washable Pleated Filter has the advantage that the accumulated dirt can be
washed out from the filter and then the filter can be reused.
c. When the Washable Pleated Filter is new it is a light cream colour. When the
filter material has turned dark grey or the air flow out of the unit has substantially
dropped, then it’s time to wash the fi lter.
To wash the fi lter:
a. Remove the filter from the unit as described above.
b. Rinse the dirt out of the filter pleats from both directions using clean flowing
water preferably from a spray nozzle.
c. NOTE that the fi lter material will regain much of its filtering performance, but its
colour will remain grey.
d. Allow the filter to completely dry before using.
e. Install the filter in the unit as described above.
